If the non-bonded exclusions and lists would be unchanged, it's probably
not too hard to change the functional form. But note that you would
have to also write code to get any parameters you need into the right
places: LJ terms (out of the box) depend heavily on "mixing rules" to
establish all of the parameters for different pairs of atoms types.
You might want to look at openMM: its design is much friendlier to
including custom potentials (and its GPU performance it reported to be
pretty good, although I don't have any recent personal experience.)

This is not (yet?) supported in Amber. There is a DrudeForce class in
openMM; again, I have no personal experience with it.
...good luck....dac
